FANUC M-1iA Robots Used in a Pharmaceutical Application to Transfer Vials of Liquid

In this robotic picking and transfer application used to demonstrate how industrial robots are being applied to the pharmaceutical industry, two FANUC M-1iA/0.5A 6-axis robots pick and place micro vials for sterilization.

The FANUC M-1iA is designed for small part handling, high speed picking and assembly applications. The M-1iA robot picks micro vials vertically from the infeed conveyor and places them on an outfeed conveyor horizontally for sterilization. The side mounted M-1iA robot picks the horizontal micro vials coming out of the sterilization process and places them back onto the infeed conveyor.
